The sharp swings reflect uncertainty in investor sentiment, following Monday’s rally driven by easing geopolitical tensions and a sovereign credit rating upgrade. However, experts believe much of the optimism had already been priced in, leaving room for sell-offs and short-term choppiness. “It seems that stock markets are facing extreme volatility today and the trend may continue throughout the trading session,” a market expert observed.
Why the Volatility?
The narrow institutional participation raises concerns about sustainability, especially in the absence of fresh macroeconomic tailwinds.
What Next for Investors?
Despite Tuesday’s volatility, analysts continue to hold a constructive medium-term outlook, especially with improved global trade sentiment and stabilising regional geopolitics. The Indian IT sector is seen as a potential outperformer in the near term, supported by a resilient US economic backdrop.
However, pharmaceutical exporters could face headwinds due to pricing pressures linked to former US President Donald Trump’s drug price control order, which is once again being debated under the current administration.
Market experts advise retail investors to remain optimistic but disciplined, avoiding the temptation to chase rallies and instead keeping a close eye on global triggers and institutional flow patterns.
